You shouldn't any more. All of the contesting.com reflectors have been
changed so that the name of the mailing list is prepended to the subject.
(ie [TowerTalk]) So, just look for a subject that doesn't have this in
the header. (Of course, if someone sends you a personal message as a
reply from the list, it will be like this, too)
I use a pretty powerful e-mail client, Claris Emailer. It only runs on
Macs, but I heard there is a Windows version in the works. It permits
processing of received mail. I've set up a number of mail actions to set
the priority of each message according to where it came from. So, all my
TowerTalk messages have the priority "Tower" and are displayed in a deep
purple shade.
Your e-mail client may be able to do the same. Check it out. It is very
useful when sifting through 100's of messages a day.
